PRODUCT FEATURES
SAFETY DEVICE
This heater has a pilot with an Oxygen Deple-
tion Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff system. The
ODS/pilot is a required feature for vent-free room
heaters. The ODS/pilot shuts off the heater if there
is not enough fresh air.
PIEZO IGNITION SYSTEM
This heater has a piezo ignitor. This system re-
quires no matches, batteries or other sources to
light heater.
THERMOSTATIC HEAT CONTROL
Thermostat models have a thermostat sensing
bulb and a control valve. This results in the great-
est heater comfort. This can also result in lower
gas bills.
